What excactly is the configuration on the internal server?  What is it's
gateway ip set to?  What is it's subnet mask and such?

This looks almost like a bridging firewall rather than a routing
firewall.  Linux can do ethernet bridging transparently and do
firewalling at the same time, whcih may be what you would want for such
a setup.
